Late Victorian hair 1860 to 1890

During the late Victorian times, there was an increase in the use of hair decoration. The hair was no longer always centred and smooth as in the early Elizabethan era. Hair was curled at the front and the side were sleeked back into a knot. The back of the hair was also curled and and pinned up into a style. At this period more elaborate hair styles were seen. This was due to an increase in use of curling tongs and hair pieces.

 Flowers were another way of decorating hair.
